"River's Untold Tale" -- Series
Inspiration for this series comes from the many opportunities I have to view the banks of lakes and rivers from my kayak. Much of my time is spent exploring the way the moving water is shaping the banks, and looking below the water's surface to find the treasurers that lie beneath.
